Installation of VMware in VMware Player tools

Hello

I installed VMware Player v7, created a virtual machine (Windows) and wanted to install the VMware Tools via Player > manage > install VMware Tools... but nothing happens when I click on this option. The following 2 other methods I found in a Ko do not work either:

  • Enter D:\setup.exe where D: is the first CD-ROM drive configured for your virtual computer = > NOK as the virtual drive does not show the VMware tools.
  • Looking for the ISO file in the installation folder = > NOK: there is no ISO file.

After searching on the forum, I realized that VMware Player doesn't come with VMware tools and workaround I used was to install VMware Workstation without a license on another computer, find the file "windows.iso", copy it to the computer, mount it as a virtual drive and start the client installation.

The thing I don't understand is the reason for which the option is available in the VMware Player menu if the VMware tools are not? It's very confusing for people new to VMware and only install VMware Player...

You need not download VMware workstation to get VMware Tools in VMware Player!  VMware Player 7 is working fine on my system and had no problem downloading VMware tools, so maybe it's a problem specific to your environment/system that may block recovery.

  • VMware Tools missing in the Installation of VMware Player 7

    Hi all

    If I try to install/upgrade to update VMware Tools after the Installation of VMware Player 7 no ISO will be connected to the virtual machine.

    I checked the directory of Installation of VMware Player for the ISOs of the tools but no ISOs are there.

    Can you help me out of this Situation or is it a missing element in the installer?

    Thank you

    I just downloaded VMware-player - 7.0.0 - 2305329.exe and installed under Windows 7 x 64 and had no problems with it automatically detect installed VMware Tools to the guest operating system to be downloaded and successfully downloaded.  Having said that, have you tried? : Player > file > Preferences... > download now all components

    Maybe something is blocking you to download the VMware tools.

    You could also do it manually by using the following tools from VMware for VMware Player 7.0.0.

    Unzip the file, then run the executable result and it will silently install the file without any indication that he actually did like this isn't really so planned how to do even if it works!

  • Installation of VMware Player 3.0 tools

    I'm under fredora 12 64-bit fully up-to-date as the host

    I have installed VM player 3.0.

    Initially, I couldn't run VMware Player.  I read on the web for

    MV/usr/lib/vmware/resources/mozilla-root-certs usr/lib/vmware/resouces/mizilla-root-certs.old.

    This allows me to run vMware player without it judgment of 1 second after the start.

    I could not install the tools.

    Then I read that we should leave the only CERT file and disable the file libcurl.so.4 what I did by

    MV /usr/lib/vmware/resources/mozilla-root-certs.old/usr/lib/vmware/resouces/mizilla-root-certs

    and

    MV /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libcurl.so.4.DISABLE

    VMware Player started ok but still not able to install the tools.

    Each time, with windows 98 on I click on VM & gt; Install VMware tools, I get a message

    Certificate for the server error date top. you check the internet settings or contact administratot system.

    The network part works correctly, I can see the other computers on the local network, I can access web pages through Explorer.

    The log of the user interface is attacehd

    Nay ideas on what I can do wrong or get a new file mozilla - root.certs snack is courpt.

    Thanks in advance

  • Installation of VMWare Player on Mac OS 10.5

    Try to get VMware Player installed on several machines Mac OS 10.5 however did not use Unix for several years and am fighting to get installed it using the shell / terminal. In addition, users have no idea what is the password to root on each machine.

    1. How can I reset the password known on each machine?

    2. What download is the easiest to install?

    3. Someone at - it a 'Guide of Installation Idiots "?

    Thanks in advance!

    Ah OK, I understand it now. Yes it would have been cheaper.

    Fortunately for you, however, Fusion licenses are not too expensive ($79,-IIRC) and you can get discounts that too, for example on the http://www.yellow-bricks.com site (see the sidebar under advertising Veeam)

    If it's still too expensive, then it is a free alternative as the machine version virtual open source. Unfortunately, the future of this product isn't too safe, as it was sponsored by the Sun and therefore now under Oracle and they have already indicated that they do not want to continue the commercial offer of Virtual Box.

  • Guy Android coming to BB. Installation with VMWare player/Simulator/SDK issues

    I installed it,

    C/C++ QNX Momentics IDE...installer-bbndk-BB10_0_04-win32-186-201204250810-201204251322.exe
    BlackBerry10Simulator... BlackBerry10Simulator-Installer-BB10_0_04-195-Win-201204262359.exe
    VMWare... VMware-player-version 4.0.3 - 703057.exe

    I go to the early stages of QNX Momentics IDE and try opening an example (SDK)
    I get the Setup Deployment Wizard. I go to Device Setup and choose Simulator.
    What should I do now? The last step click the HELP (?) says he launched the Simulator, but I get a page with the title "Blackberry Simulator is not found and it's looking for a file VNX. I checked and tripled check the previous steps on the help icon.

    The Simulator is deadlocked C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents\Virtual Machines\BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_04. And I clearly see a BlackBerry10Simulator.vmx file in there
    but the SDK app doesn't see a single VMX file. The folder 'controllers' and other records.

    I tried the VMWare Player. It works very well.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Hey be based,

    The initial installation of the IDE and Simulator can be sometimes a bit daunting. Some of these steps you've done but im going anyway to list them:

    1. raise some Code by signing keys: keys

    2. download and install Momentics IDE and install

    3. download and install Blackberry Simulator

    4 download and install VMWare

    5 disable all firewall programs including windows firewall

    6. open VMWare-> choose open a Virtual Machine-> access your VNX file and open it

    7 if it opens really slow try changing options in VMWare 2 CPU and see if you can activate the "Virtualization technology" or "AMD Virtualization" in the BIOS

    8 the address of development of the Simulator (click the icon of the person with the toothed wheel on the menu bar of your alpha dev Simulator

    9. open the IDE, click window > Preferences on Windows and select BlackBerry and click BlackBerry Setup Wizard Deployment.

    10. follow the onscreen instructions to set up your target (Simulator or device) and add your chips of the device debugging.

    11 A this point your simulator could not auto discover so add your IP address you found earlier and if you haven't added a password in your simulator then let empty password.

    12. the rest of the wizard of BlackBerry deployment configuration should work just fine.

    13 open a sample application

    14. click on the file of the bar - descriptor.xml in the Project Explorer view, and then select "Set of symbolic debugging.

    15. right click on the project file, and then select Configurations to Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug

    16. right click on the project file, and then select generate the project.

    17. then right click on the project again and select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++

    18. If all goes well, everything should work from there.

    Remember you need to do 14-17 for each project you want to run through the Simulator. And always turn on the virtual machine before you start the IDE I found that things always work better that way.

    I hope this helps!

  • With the help of Fusion Pro license to activate Win7 installation of VMWare Player

    According to http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion-professional/compare.html, Fusion Pro includes a license for the use of VMWare Player Plus. However, when you try to activate the Player Plus (reader-> help-> enter license key...) and enter the key, nothing happens. (The warning at the bottom of the screen that my evaluation license will expire in N days persists). Any help thrown my way is appreciated.

    Best,

    Adam

    I think this might be the post: trial license expired blocks of VMWare Workstation without drive

    I did an uninstall of the program and then started across the registry of rooting for any instance of vmware (Ctrl-F) and he nuking (not for the faint of heart).

    I think that what he did was to find the license key, who lives under a key 'VMWare, Inc.' (there are several of them) (note that it was not under the path mentioned in the thread above).

    I also cleaned up C:\ProgramData\VMWare, which contained the cruft of various other software products VMware I had been assessed, but had uninstalled.

    Thanks for the help,

  • VMware Player starts the installation wizard.

    I have a laptop with W 7 and an ultra 2 AMD turion dual core mobile M 600. Tried to download the reader with the comand performance and as soon as I touched the

    Open the button disappears. I then downloaded using the Save button and it loads up to my office. Then I tried to double click it, tried all the options I have with right click, but it does not start. After trying for several weeks to find an answer, I decided to try this forum. I hope someone can help me.

    I suggest that take you a look at http://faq.sanbarrow.com/index.php?solution_id=1113 which lists a large number of possible problems, which could prevent the installation of VMware Player correctly.

    As a first step, take a look in the Windows Task Manager and kill "fixcamera.exe" and/or "webcam.exe" If these tasks are running.

  • VMware Player configuration dialog box is VIRGIN on install or uninstall

    I spent 2-3 hours combing through discussion forums, and I can't find a solution. I also noticed that it is a very common problem and good solutions do not actually apply to the problem. Hey tend to be generic fixes or patches for other versions of Windows (which may work) or other software (which do not seem to work at all). So if you please (please) don't refer to solutions aimed specifically at the question. On the other hand, it please add real corrections that actually worked so that the next poor slob who has this error will find useful info all in one place. Thank you :-)

    Host computer: Windows XP Pro (32 bit)

    Already installed VMware Player 3. something and it worked well.

    I remember the same error when I install 1-2 years ago, but I don't remember the fix I used.

    I downloaded, verified and then ran the latest Player (VMware-player - 5.0.2 - 1031769)

    I received a 'VMware Player Setup' empty dialog box.

    I waited for 5-10 minutes and with nothing happening, I made an "end task".

    I restarted the computer and tried again. The same problem.

    I searched an answer here and realized that I had to uninstall first the player 3. xxx.

    Control Panel-> Add/Remove Programs-> VMware Player-> uninstall = the same problem (empty dialog box)

    I checked the error log error is: ERROR * CHtmlDialog::CallJScript: failed to get the required jscript ID required; COM error :-2147352570

    I ran the VMware_Install_Cleaner.exe, the content of the deleted, temp folder restarted, and I tried uhninstall-> same problem

    I tried the fix here: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027986

    1. Open a command prompt. For more information, see opening of a command or shell prompt (1003892).
    2. Run these commands to reregister the files needed and details:
      • If VMware Workstation is installed on a 32-bit version of Windows:
        • regsvr32 jscript.dll
        • regsvr32 vbscript.dll

      I received a message that both were successful. I have Windows restrted (reloaded), cleaned from the temporary folder, tried to uninstall-> same problem

      I stopped my AV software and tried to uninstall again-> same problem

      I deleted the contents of the temp folder and tried to uninstall again-> same problem

      I cleaned the registry, rebooted and tried the new uninstall > same problem

      I tried to install without uninstalling. I tried various suggestions, including decompression of the file in a folder (vmplayer) on the root of C: and the manual installation using the x 86 msi file. This method failed due to several errors.

      Then...

      (1) how to uninstall version of xxx 3. Player and clean while I have a no clean, vmware player system?

      (2) how to install the Reader 5. XXX without this error dialog box empty.

      Thank you.

      I have a solution!

      I deleted all the files associated with VMware Player. In my user files and all (Public) users. Then I deleted all the temporary files used by vmware player.

      I ran the installer for vmware player 3.14 (the original installation) and chose 'uninstall '. He crossed uninstall it without any problem or error. After that, he asked to restart the computer I did.

      Then I ran the installer for the 5.02 and installed without problem or error. He never asked to restart the computer.

      The only thing I noticed was that when I ran VMware Player it took a long time to start (maybe 2-3 minutes). So, I did a reboot and then it was all right, to leave quickly and loading of a virtual machine as fast as before.

    3. Problem installing VMware Player

      I wanted to install VMware Player for some time, but whenever I tried to install it on my computer, I found a bug in the installation script.

      Immediately after you click 'Next' on the "Installation of VMware Player" screen, I get a "script error":

      > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

      An error has occurred in the script on this page.

      Line: 871

      > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

      After this error message, the installation hangs at this point.

      I use it on a Windows 7 desktop machine.

      Have experience you this problem?  What are my options for installation?

      I appreciate any help you can lend.

      Do yourself a huge favor and change the MS beast by default folder %TEMP%.  Remove the user folder-specific and TMP % environment variables so just leave the system those - who are the shortest paths and don't contain strange characters, which will often screw up installers.

    4. VMware Player 3.1.4 &amp; vmwarenet-cfg

      Hello

      I have a pc (host) with 2 nic slot XP pro SP3.

      I installed VMware Player 3.1.4 build 385536.

      I want to configure these 2 NICs in the systems of my guests.

      I want to give VM-adapter 1 nic1 via NAT and VM 2 adapter nic 2 via bypass.

      It is not possible for me to choose the 'true' - nic I want to connect to the VM adapter.

      I read that it should be possible with VMwarenet - cfg.exe.

      This command, but be in the "VMWare Player" directory.

      I don't find this command in that directory.

      Some can tell me how I can make the links I want to?

      Thank you

      Patrick

      You will need to do a few things...

      Read first configuring a virtual network section in the help file in VMware Player.

      Then you need to manually install the virtual network editor missing (vmnetcfg.exe) comes from the extracted network.cab file of the installation of VMware-player package - 3.1.4 - 385536.exe using the following syntax:

      VMware-player-3.1.4-385536.exe /e c:\vmptemp
      

      After having extracted the file vmnetcfg.exe from the network.cab file, you can put in the folder "C:\Program VMware Player" and if you want to create a shortcut to put with the VMware Player shortcut in the Start Menu.

      Then, run the virtual network editor and disable the automatic bypass for VMnet0 assigning the NIC goal

      Also VMware Player does not offer a way to customize the network adapter settings in the guest to use the specific VMnets as well through its user interface...

      In the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file, there are several settings for each Ethernet card if the form of:

      ethernet(n).
      

      Where (n)' is a number, i.e. ethernet0.

      For each NIC that you have to customize you must change the value of a parameter, while adding another network adapter.

      As an example of change:

      ethernet(n).connectionType = "nat"
      

      TO:

      ethernet(n).connectionType = "custom"
      

      Add:

      ethernet(n).vnet = "VMnet(n)"
      

      This will then allow the network adapter to use different VMnets.

    5. Win 7 32 bit unbootable in VMware Player

      I've been running Win 7 32 bit as guest on VMware Player 3.1.3 OS and have not had any problems. The host operating system is Win 7 64 bit.

      Last night, I ran the player and guest what OS would freeze to the Win Startup screen. All 4 cores in my CPU was pegged at 100% and no further progress. I have reset using the menu player Power & it froze a new start-up. I then powered through the player's menu. When I got to the top, Win prompted me to do a startup repair. II brewed for a long time, and found nothing.

      I reinstalled the guest operating system and was able to start Windows 7. I installed all the updates successfully, including SP1. The next time that I restarted, I had exactly the same problem - the guest operating system wouldn't boot.

      I have now done a repair/installation of VMware player & still having the same problem!

      Anyone has a suggestion as to what to try next? I'm puzzled. It works great once.

      From what I've read so far, it's SP1 that causes problems in the virtual machine. I would recommend not to install SP1 until there is a workaround available solution or VMware is launching a version that supports SP1 supported.

    6. 3.1.2 - 301548 VMWare Player / Windows XP

      By the subject, I can't get this drive to install on my laptop. I already had an installation of workstation (VMware-workstation - 6.5.4 - 246459) installed, and I uninstalled it before reinstalling the drive. It is uninstall it completely borked somewhere, when I try to install the player installation falls as it wants to uninstall a non-existent version of something:

      Before installation can continue with the installation of VMWare Player, you must uninstall the following products:

      (Version :)

      No identity version or the product. Windoze registry is a ZERO references to what that it is 'vmware' (regedit), so I am at a loss here. Anyone?

      Thanks in advance for any help with this issue...

      OK - then read my WS - FAQ - there many tips for this case.

      I think the install/z 'action '=' install' can work for you
